Then she turned the phone around and asked, "is this you?"
Hearing this, Rachel looked up and said, "It seems to be me."
The colleague immediately raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "Who is the man over there? Is
he the father of the baby?"
Frowning, Rachel asked, "Why do you have this photo?"
"It's a coincidence!" The colleague swiped the screen with two fingers and zoomed the photo back to
the normal angle. Only then did Rachel realize that she and Jack were not the main part of the photo.
The colleague chuckled and pointed at a man and a woman who were quarreling in the middle of the
photo. She said helplessly, "This is my cousin and her husband. They two often quarrel that even at the
hospital today. I just asked my brother why he was so late in the morning? Then he just sent me this
photo."
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately stretched out her neck and asked curiously,
"Rachel, the man's back looks good. He should be very handsome, right? It seems that you don't need
to worry what your baby will look like. It must be a handsome boy or a beautiful girl."
Rachel listened quietly with a smile on her face. She didn't say anything.
Fortunately, this colleague was not a gossipy person. After chatting for a while, she found that Rachel
was not interested in talking more, so she smartly led the topic to the baby.
In the shopping mall, two men were walking back and forth in the lady's shoes section. Several shop
assistants looked at them in confusion.
With one hand in his pocket and the other in his shirt, Michael enjoyed this kind of treatment and
adjusted his tie and raised his eyebrows evilly at the sight of beautiful girls. On the contrary, Jack, who
was standing beside him, had a serious look on his face. Every time he walked to a shop, he would
stop to have a look at it and think about something.
"What on earth do you want to buy?" Asked Michael, putting his hand on Jack's shoulder.
Although he enjoyed this kind of gaze, it was defined on the premise that everyone was attracted by
their appearance. But now when they looked at him, it was obviously not the same meaning, but more
like looking at two perverts. At this time, Michael could not calm down.
Jack touched his chin and said solemnly, "Buy shoes for Rachel."
Michael sneered. "I thought you came here to investigate and planned to develop your career in
women's shoes. I didn't expect you to buy a few pairs of shoes."
Then he pushed Jack to a counter and said, "Since you are buying shoes, you can't see anything even
if you stand at the door. You have to go in and have a look."
"But I don't think these shoes are suitable." Jack frowned and picked up a pair of high-heeled shoes.
"Look, these shoes are so high-heels. How can they fit her now?"
Hearing this, the shop assistant immediately came up and said with a smile, "Sir, do you want to buy a
plain one or a low heels one? You can find both in our shop."
"Plain, suitable for pregnant women."
Hearing his request, the shop assistant immediately walked aside, leaned over and took several pairs
of shoes from the bottom row, and placed them in front of Jack. "These shoes are very suitable for
pregnant women, and they will feel comfortable with them on."
Michael sat down on the sofa and crossed his legs naturally. "You couldn't find them just now, but now
they have taken out so many. Look, which pair does Rachel like?"
In the morning, after sending away Rachel, Jack sat alone in the car. He took out his mobile phone and
searched online for shoes suitable for pregnant women. When he saw a kind of shoes called pregnant
women shoes, he didn't go to the company, but directly pulled up Michael from the bed and went to the
shopping mall.
He thought that pregnant women shoes were just a kind of shoes, but unexpectedly, the shop assistant
took out five or six pairs at once.
Different styles and colors.
Jack was dazzled by these shoes. He didn't know which one Rachel liked. After thinking for a while, he
said in a low voice, "Pack all these shoes for me."
"All of them?" The shop assistant was surprised with her mouth wide open. Then she came to her
senses, hurriedly cleaned up the shoes on the ground, and asked with a smile, "then how much do you
want?"
"37." Jack replied.
"Okay. Wait a moment. I'll get you new ones from the warehouse." The shop assistant smiled
obsequiously and began to calculate how much bonus she could get this month.
Looking at the back of the shop assistant, Michael asked in a low voice, "Don't you think you bought
too much?"
"It's not a big deal." Jack replied in a low voice. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. "You can
take a taxi home later. I'll go to the hospital to send the shoes to Rachel."
"What?" With his eyes wide open, Michael stood up abruptly, pointed at Jack's nose and said, "You
really value a lover more than a friend. If I had known this earlier, I should have driven here by myself.
No, I shouldn't have come with you!"
Jack shook off his hand and patted him on the shoulder leisurely. "If you are not afraid that I will tell
your family where you are next time, you can say something more."
"Despicable, shameless, treacherous!" Michael was so angry that he jumped his feet and cursed all the
dirty words that could be used. He shook his head regretfully and said, "I was really blind at that time.
Why did I become your friend?"
After Rachel finished her work, she stood up and was about to make a cup of lemon tea when her
phone rang. Seeing the name of Jack, she hesitated for a few seconds and finally answered it. "What's
up?"
Jack smiled and asked, "I'm at the gate of the hospital now. Will you come out or I go to your office?"
Frowning, Rachel asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Something important." Jack turned to look at the shoe boxes piled up on the back seat.
Rachel thought for a while and said, "Well, wait for me at the door. I'll come down now."
If he came to the office, Rachel was afraid that her colleagues would ask her questions again. She
greeted one of her colleagues and went downstairs. When she stepped out of the elevator, she saw
Jack leaning against a black car, playing with his mobile phone with his head down.
He really changed the Land Rover and now drove a Porsche with the low base.
Rachel walked slowly to him and asked in a low voice, "Can't you wait for me to go home after work?"
Jack smiled and said nothing. He just took her hand and said, "Sit here."
Taking a look at the passenger seat with the door open, Rachel thought they were going to somewhere.
When she was about to bend over, Jack grabbed her shoulders and turned around to let her sit on the
passenger seat with her feet still exposed.
She frowned and didn't know what Jack wanted to do. When she was about to ask, he put his finger to
his lips and pretended to be mysterious. Then he turned around and opened the door of the back seat.
He took out a shoe box from it, opened it and put it in front of her. He asked gently, "So you like this
style of shoes?"
"You bought them?" Rachel was shocked.
Jack nodded. Seeing that she frowned and remained unmoved, he thought she didn't like it, so he
opened the door and took out another pair of shoes. He asked again, "How about this one?"
Seeing that she still didn't have any reaction, he simply took another pair out. Seeing that he kept
walking back and forth, Rachel was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh and asked. "Jack, how many
pairs of shoes have you bought?"
"Not so many, just six pairs." Jack took out all the six shoe boxes from the car and put them in front of
Rachel. "See which pair you want to wear today. If you don't like them, I'll go to the shopping mall later
and buy some more for you."
'Buy some more?'
Afraid that he would take it seriously, Rachel shook her head and pointed at one pair of white flat
shoes. "This one. Put away the rest."
Now, those who were going to the hospital for treatment stopped and looked at them.
They might think that Jack was selling shoes and she was buying.
She was a little regretful that she hadn't asked Jack to find a place with fewer people. Otherwise, how
could it become a play in the eyes of everyone?
Jack half squatted in front of her, took off her shoes, and then changed this new pair of flat shoes for
her. He patted his hands and looked relaxed. "We can put away these high-heeled shoes first and wear
them after giving birth to the baby."
"Whatever." The corner of her mouth twitched, and Rachel stood up. Now she just wanted to go back to
her office as soon as possible.
Jack grabbed her arm and said, "I have something to deal with in the company this afternoon, so I may
be late. Wait for me in the office."
"No, thanks." Rachel withdrew her hands and said lightly, "I can go back by myself."
After saying that, Rachel went straight to the elevator. Looking down at her shoes, she felt touched,
hopeful and timid.
As soon as she returned to the office, a sharp eyed colleague noticed the shoes on Rachel's feet and
said in surprise, "Rachel, you can buy a pair of shoes in the mall in such a short time. They are nice on
your feet."
Rachel smiled awkwardly. 'What should I say?
My child's father was worried when he saw me wearing a pair of low heels, so he specially bought a
pair of flat shoes and sent it to the hospital to change for me?'
She was afraid that if she spoke it out, her colleagues would say that she showed off their love? After
all, even if she thought about it in her heart, she couldn't help but feel a little touched.
In the afternoon, Rachel was not in the mood to work. Sitting alone in the office, she always
remembered that he took out the shoes one by one and showed them in front of her. The corners of her
mouth couldn't help raising. He looked a little silly and cute, different from his usual shrewd and
indifferent appearance, which made him cute.
But there was no progress in her work.
